E2
Refrigerator / Freezer
NTC Temperature Sensor & ThermistorFreezer section not cooling properly
The temperature sensor for the freezer compartment is faulty.
A technician needs to test the sensor's resistance and replace it if it's out of specification.
E3
Refrigerator / Freezer
Refrigeration Compressor, Defrost Heater & PTC RelayExcessive frost buildup in the freezer
The defrost system sensor has failed, preventing the appliance from running its automatic defrost cycle.
The defrost sensor, usually clipped to the evaporator coil, needs to be tested and replaced.
E4
Refrigerator / Freezer
Electronic Control Board (PCB) & Bus CommunicationsAppliance beeping, display flashing
Communication error between the main control board and the display panel.
Perform a power reset by unplugging the appliance for 5 minutes. If the fault persists, check the wiring harness between the boards for damage.
F1
Oven / Microwave
NTC Temperature Sensor & ThermistorOven not heating, error on display
The oven's temperature sensor (NTC) has an open circuit, meaning it's disconnected or broken.
Inspect the wiring to the temperature sensor. If wiring is intact, the sensor needs to be tested and likely replaced.
F2
Oven / Microwave
NTC Temperature Sensor & ThermistorOven overheating or not heating correctly
The oven's temperature sensor (NTC) has a short circuit.
The temperature sensor needs to be replaced by a qualified technician.
F3
Oven / Microwave
NTC Temperature Sensor & ThermistorOven is too hot or displays error during use
The oven is overheating. This can be caused by a faulty temperature sensor, a stuck relay on the control board, or a non-functioning cooling fan.
Allow the oven to cool completely. Check that the cooling fan is running. If the problem continues, the sensor or control board may need service.
F4
Oven / Microwave
Drive Motor, Inverter & Tachometer SensorOven overheats and shuts down
The cooling fan is not working due to a blockage, wiring issue, or a failed motor.
Disconnect power. Ensure the fan blades are free to turn. Check electrical connections. If necessary, replace the cooling fan motor.
F5
Dishwasher
Water Inlet Valve, Aquastop & FlowmeterFaber F5: Water inlet / filling timeout in Dishwasher; appliance fails to fill to minimum operational level.
The water tap is closed, the inlet hose is kinked, or the water inlet valve is faulty.
Ensure the water supply is turned on and the hose is not bent. If the issue persists, the inlet valve may need to be tested and replaced.
F6
Dishwasher
Water Inlet Valve, Aquastop & FlowmeterFaber F6: Water inlet / filling timeout in Dishwasher; appliance fails to fill to minimum operational level.
The electronic water inlet valve (Aquastop) is malfunctioning or has an electrical fault.
Check the wiring to the inlet valve. Test the valve's solenoid and replace the assembly if it's faulty.
F8
Oven / Microwave
Drive Motor, Inverter & Tachometer SensorDoor will not lock or unlock
Failure in the motorized door lock mechanism, often occurring before, during, or after a pyrolytic cleaning cycle.
Turn off power for 30 minutes to reset. If the door remains locked, check the door lock assembly for faults or obstructions.
F9
Dishwasher
Drive Motor, Inverter & Tachometer SensorPoor cleaning, spray arms not rotating
The diverter valve, which alternates water flow between the upper and lower spray arms, is stuck or faulty.
Check the diverter valve for blockages. The valve motor may need to be tested and the assembly replaced if defective.
F10
Oven / Microwave
Electronic Control Board (PCB) & Bus CommunicationsOven is unresponsive, display shows error
Communication error between the main power board and the user interface/display board.
Reset the oven by turning off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes. If the error returns, check the wiring harness connecting the two boards for loose connections.
H
Refrigerator / Freezer
General System & Mechanical IntegrationAlarm sounds and 'H' flashes on display
High temperature alarm. The internal temperature of a compartment is too warm. This can be caused by a door left ajar, a recent large grocery load, or a cooling system failure.
Ensure the door is fully closed and gaskets are sealing properly. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. If the alarm persists, seek professional service.
SAFE
Oven / Microwave
General System & Mechanical IntegrationOven controls are locked and unresponsive
The child safety lock feature is activated.
Refer to the user manual to deactivate the child lock. This usually involves pressing and holding a specific button (often a key or lock symbol) for several seconds.
